Making Tea.

Good House keening.

Nrtou IUuSthtt
But not many days ago | found a new
and better way of making tea. and that
the tea question should ever be stirred
up and need settling once again sur-
pTised me. Mothers way OF making it
seemed unquesti0nable at first: One
teaSpoOnfui of tea. one cupful of boiling.
water: stepped not boiled. five minutes.
But night after night there tiOated on
my husbands cup one. two or a dozen
tiny particles of stem and leaf. uRibat
StTainer there must be. but "A pretty
silver one ! said. land | will WaitlLtilif
Christmas. Then came my best OF
husbands to the rescue with a mild Sug-
geStiOn: for he is lOng-Sutfering. and
neither demands Improvement nor finds
fault with present methods in my house
keeping. He proposed teaching me his
mOtiTSy way OF making tea. 1t was to
use the S69le proportion as before. but
not to pour the whole amount of boiling
water on the leaves until they have first
stepped in just enough to cover them
three minutes. Then add the amount
of water required and serve. If the
water really bOilS there will DE no
''tioaters.'
By the new rule, found in our daily
paper, tea is made with cold water and
is intended to be used iced in tumblers.
But accidentally we have discovered
that it makes superior hot tea also. Four
or five hours before using, pour one
cupful of cold water over a teaspoonful
of tea leaves. At tea time strain and
serve as iced tea, or heated in the tea
pot. The straining before heating gives
unusual delicacy to the flavor.

DISGRACE TO THE CHURCH.
The Transient Are Permanent in
ChrisJianity---Rey. vi. ID. Smut
teris Sermon.

At the Church of the Redeemer last
evening Rev. Marion d. Shutter
preached a sermon from which the fol-
lowing extracts are made:
The conflicts that have disgraced the
history OF the church have been for the
outward and perishabIe. but the very
fact that there have been changes is a
sign OF life. sign that the Spirit was
mighty to east OFF and take on according
to changed needs and conditions.
The permanent elements. however
variOuSiy embodied. have never been
affected. We believe to-day more and
more in the grand principles which
Jesus taught-the fatheThOOd of God. the
bru therhOOd of man. the supremacy
of righteousness. the final tri-
umph of good over evil, the
life immortal. Let a man have
these as he will. | shall not quarrel
with him. | do not care for them.

theological opinion in that body and

those whose views are less rigid than
the old-fashiOned Calvinism of Mr..

fact. believers in Christs atonement are
